Where There Is A Will There Is A Way!Category: TREATMENT OF OTHER FEVERS Source: Hydriatic Treatment Of Scarlet Fever In Its Different Forms I have been frequently compelled to resort to these milder applications, when there were no bathing utensils in families or boarding-houses, or no servants to carry the water for a bath; and they have always answered very well. In cases where a sitz-bath or a half-bath is indispensable, to save the life of a patient, you will find the means of procuring bathing utensils and the necessary quantity of water. _Where there is a will, there is a way!_--I am sure that when once your mind is made up to use the treatment, it will not be difficult for you to find the means for it. There is always water, and there are always hands enough, where there is _resolution_. And who would mind a little trouble, when he can save a fellow creature's, perhaps a darling child's life and health? As for the rest, the few days' trouble, which the hydriatic mode of treatment gives, is largely recompensed by the much shorter duration of the disease, and by the immediate relief the patient derives from almost every application of water. I have generally found that those parents who had confidence in the treatment, had also the courage to resort to it. _Confidence and courage_ create _resolution_, and when once you have begun to treat your patient, you will be sure to persevere. _Il n'y a que le premier pas qui coute_, as the French say: only the first step is difficult.
